English translation

1492. It was narrated that Abū Bakrah said: “We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when the sun became eclipsed. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out dragging his garment, until he came to the Masjid, and the people gathered around him. He led us in praying two Rak'ahs and when (the eclipse) ended he said: ‘The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allāh, by means of which Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, strikes fear into His slaves. They do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that, they pray until Allāh relieves you of fear.’ That was because his son named Ibrāhīm had died, and the people suggested to him that (the eclipse) happened because of that.” (Sahih)

Arabic text

1491 - أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، وَثَابَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ، فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَلَمَّا انْكَشَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يُخَوِّفُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ، وَإِنَّهُمَا لَا يَخْسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَصَلُّوا حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِكُمْ»، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ ابْنًا لَهُ مَاتَ يُقَالُ لَهُ: إِبْرَاهِيمُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ نَاسٌ فِي ذَلِكَ
